   Current i am having some 301 redirect trouble. Its due to what wordpress is putting into the .htaccess file, but i dont know how to fix it.

   right now the htaccess file looks something like this

   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   
   # END WordPress
   
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^geigerballetacademy\.com$ [OR]
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.geigerballetacademy\.com$
   RewriteRule ^files\/Summer_Extended_08\.doc$ "http\:\/\/geigerballetacademy\.com\/" [R=301,L]

   The problem is, if i test the 301 redirect.. of the one redirect shown i would get geigerballetacademy.com/Summer_Extended_08.doc instead of geigerballetacademy.com.... thats kind of a problem

   Now if i remove this:

   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

   when i test the 301 redirects like the one above it works properly.... per the test sites i tried http://www.webtoolhub.com/tn561352-url-redirection-checker.aspx and http://www.internetofficer.com/seo-tool/redirect-check/

   so i thought my problem was solved, but after removing the chuck of code now only the main domain works (geigerballetacademy.com)... If i try clicking on any of the links on the page it 404's me

   So how do i get the 301's to work properly, but also make sure the webpage is still accessable?

   Thank you alll for the help!

   [No bumping and try to exercise a little patience, please.]
